"Jim Tressel, let me tell you about this guy. You could distinguish him from any other coach in the country," Mazem emphatically stated. "He is the only coach that came into our house and never talked about football even for a split second. All the other coaches came in and talked about how they would use Nader, how he could play defensive end or defensive tackle, or how his physical assets would benefit their school. Tressel came in and talked about how it would be as a freshman, the different classes he would take that would be challenging, the philosophy he has about 'raising his children' - his players. You could tell he wasn't all about football. It is his job of course, but it doesn't have to be football 24/7. He understands there are other things besides football that come into play, and he showed that when he came to our house."
